Things that piss me off today:
1. One of my friends from school sent me a birthday present. A nice box full of miscellaneous crap that, while thoughtful, was actually pretty much all junk. But it's the thought that counts, right? And I was flattered she remembered my birthday. Flattered until today, when I got the shipping invoice and UPS informs me I have to pay $18 in shipping.
2. Said friend gave my main email address to some company that keeps filling my inbox with spam. How do I know? The emails say "'friend's email address' thought you'd be interested in a free *digital camera/viagra/home mortgage*"
3. Didn't get the job I interviewed for, which, while not what I wanted, isn't a big deal. Big deal is the fact that they informed me I wasn't selected by a form letter on which they spelt my name wrong.
4. Parentals are in Florida and went to Disney today. Doesn't piss me off so much as makes me wish I were there.
5. I am so ridiculously behind on emails to everyone. I'm working on it, I swear.
6. I am so sick of everything I have written. It's all sitting there, half finished, some of it nearly finshed and I open, look, decide I suck complete and close it again. Wait, that's not true. I open the longer stuff, read it and decide it's completely boring and has no point and close it. Grrr. Arrrgh. I just need to finish one of the three long-ish stories I've been working on.
7. samandjack. I go over, skim through the messages and shake my head. It's an angry, angry place right now, which makes me sad.
8. Still job-less. I'm cute, I'm well educated, I'll do pretty much anything for cash. Why will no one hire me?
1. The sister and I have gotten addicted to PBS' Colonial House. I like to yell at the Govenor and his crazy, crazy ways.
2. I have a whole bottle of wine, all to myself. That balances most of the first list.

Dude, you do not send a gift and then leave the person receiving it to pay for it! That totally sucks.
And I love your writing but I know what you mean, some days you just want to throw all your stuff through the window. Don't though, because I'm sure they're gems. If I had followed that instinct, I'd never have written reprieve and I'm damn proud of that fic. *knuffels* Hang in there.

YES. City on a Hill? Are you shitting me?
When his wife said that thing about Indians still being dangerous today and don't you watch the ten o'clock news, I about fell off my couch.
It's more melodramatic than Frontier House was, and I wish it would spend more time on the history and less on the drama. But oh well. Is still fun.

Done. You have a new employee :D

Especially considering the fact that we've really drifted apart the last year or so. It's just one more thing that rankles.

Thank you and I will. I just get whiny somedays when things aren't going as I want them to (and reprieve is great, btw.)

Yes! Oh my God, yes! Acccccckkk!! Though I did feel bad for the mocking when the son and the fiance were in the car accident. But that went away a little quicker than I'm comfortable with.

Yes. Yes. I can't believe they suckered mein with four hours over two nights and then expect me to wait until Monday for more. Crazy PBS, who do they think they are? This show was brought to my tv by viewers like me (not me, I should note, but still) and I say I want the rest nowwwwwww.
I am crazy whiny lately.
